NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce GTX 950 sales 20 August 2015 at a recommended price of $159. This is Maxwell architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 2 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 6.6 GB/s are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 105.6 GB / s.

Compatibility-wise, this is 2-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 7.938" (20.2 cm). 1x 6-pins power connector is required, and power consumption is at 90 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 24.45 percent of a leader's which is NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000.
